for our MOM: [What about today makes it a great day?]
JOURNAL TOPIC:
In the passage we read today in Fahrenheit 451, Mildred's friends were really resistant to poetry -- and then, when Montag read it, they had an intense emotional reaction. Why do you think this happened? And what is it about poetry that creates a different reaction than prose?
-OR-
You can use your journal simply to write about life and your experiences in these unusual, challenging times.
AGENDA:
1. MOM
2. Journal
3. Our meeting
4. Post
POST:
In terms of his plan with Faber, Montag made a big mistake in reading the poem to Mildred and her friends. But Faber wasn't angry with Montag -- he tells Montag that it's good for Montag to make mistakes. Why? How can we use mistakes as opportunities, not just to learn, but also to reinforce our courage and build the capacity to take smart risks as we grow? (title: THE GLORY OF THE MISTAKE)
